Hi Prasad,
I have same problem...
I have a PC with trial versions of Forms4.5,Personal Oracle 7 and sqlplus. Only sqlplus works fine with scott/tiger.. Whenever try to use Forms4.5, its gives TNS:name not found error.. I intend to work only on standalone PC and no network is involved.

Thanks in advance,
